Elko County approves two-step merit increase for county manager
Summary
Following a performance review, the board approved a two-step merit increase for the county manager (from step 6 to step 8), representing about an 8% raise, and directed staff to return with comparative compensation analysis and consideration of a vehicle/car allowance.
The commission reviewed the county manager's evaluation and compensation step status. The manager reported she was at step 6 and that a two-step merit increase would move her to step 8, with the updated salary figure discussed in open session.
A commissioner moved to adopt the evaluation and grant the two-step increase, noting the manager had not received a substantive adjustment since 2022 and that retention and institutional continuity were priorities. The motion carried by voice vote. Commissioners also asked staff to prepare a comparative analysis of similar positions and to return with a recommendation regarding a vehicle allowance or other recruitment/retention tools.
